   The site is looking good Simon. Please feel free to add my site to the list of people that are happy to do Indie reviews. I also interview new authors.

     My pleasure Kim. Please spread the word about the list through the independent bookstores. I know that many of the independent bookstores have blogs or websites. Thank you for your reviews of Indie books.

   Hi Simon,

   Thanks for this great list, which I discovered because it is sending traffic my way, thank you. Regarding my own Kindle Nation site at http://kindlehomepage.blogspot.com, I appreciate being included, although I should say that we rarely do reviews. What we do are sponsorships, and in the course of it we often say positive and truthful things above and beyond the copy submitted by an author or publisher, but we always identify a sponsorship as such so that nobody will think they are reading an objective review.

   All that being said, I wonder if you would mind if I included your list on our indieKindle site and newsletter for authors and publishers at http://indiekindle.blogspot.com, as a resource. Of course I would link back to you.

   Cheers,
   Steve Windwalker

     Steve,
     Good to see that the page, and its intended purpose, is working. Kindle Nation is a fantastic site and a great resource for Indie writers. As soon as my book is finally ready I’ll be taking one of your Gold Sponsorships. A rare review is still a review. Frankly, putting out up front that you have sponsorship is refreshing, and that’s why you’re on the list. A link to the list from your site would be great and much appreciated.

     Cheers,
     Simon

     • Vicki | November 10, 2010 at 8:08 am | Reply

       Not to mention an excellent reputation.

       Simon, if I were you, I’d book a slot now. Sleight Malice features today and I booked the sponsorship almost two months ago.

       Cheers

    You said to let you know if review sites charge. Well, I contacted one excellent site with a superlative reputation: Midwest Book review. And they wrote back that they charge $50 for a Kindle review.

    They are so well thought of that it’s worth it to me. But still…

    Hi,

    I’m number 57 on your list up there, SFandFantasyReviews.blogspot, and Unfortunately I now do not fit the criteria for this list. I’m still free, and I still review Indie books (although I do non-indie books as well). I’m still actively reviewing. In fact, Starting next week, I’m planning on ramping it up to two reviews per week.

    But I don’t do eBooks. I don’t know if that’s a new criteria, because I don’t remember it, but since the majority of my site’s traffic comes through this site, I was hoping you could make an exception? I do leave a review on iBooks…

    I understand that it may not be possible, but I hope it is. I think that this is a great, and helpful list, and thank you for including me on it thus far.

    Thanks,
    Adam Bourke

    • Simon Royle | April 3, 2011 at 7:45 am | Reply

      I’d be a real meanie if I cut off the majority of your traffic now wouldn’t I? So I am going to leave you on the list – I’ll make a comment that you cannot review ebooks but have stepped up to reviewing two books a week.

      And Adam, thank you, on behalf of us indie authors for what you do – without people like you, we’d all still be struggling to get the word out. So thanks and I hope the traffic builds for you even more – in fact I’m sending you the indieview guidelines so that you can be indieviewed and increase your traffic Have a great day.

    Hi Simon!
    Just thought I’d add my thanks to that of all the other indie authors who must be foaming at the mouth to get hold of a list like this! It’s really going to help me out with my promoting, which often seems to guzzle time out of my life. I got here via a link from Dave Gaughran’s blog – he’s a newcomer with some interesting stuff to say about his self publishing journey, hopefully he’ll send a few more eager newbies (like me) here, to the betterment of all! Wow. So betterment really IS a word…

    Second if anyone on her wants to be a part of my book blog tour and do reviews they can email me at mysticalevents.webs.com.. if this is ok. if not I understand.
    Third I want to be a part of the indie authors list. Do I approach the reviewers or do I request through you? My book is non fiction paranormal ebook

    All of this is just GREAT!!!

    Thank you

    • Simon Royle | August 2, 2011 at 1:18 pm | Reply

      Hi Bertena,

      Thanks for the kinds words. To get on the Indie Authors List, as it says, you need at least 1 three star review from one of the reviewers listed on the Indie Reviewers List. If you have this, then head over to the Join menu on the right side bar. If you do not, then you’ll need to contact the right reviewers for your type of book, follow their submission guidelines and wait to get your book accepted for review by one of them. Best of luck, Simon

    What a great site! I am in a quandary; as a self-published indie writer, like many of us denied by Big House publishers who do not want to take chances , I am in search of reviewers. My book is fiction; black market antiquities traders in 1960s Italy. It has all the elements–love, hate, duplicity, revenge, murder, infidelity and contains the history of Etruscans and early inhabitants of pre-Roman Italy to set up the reader for the grave goods found in cities of the dead. It is an exciting read from all reports, and I would be very happy if a reviewer on this esteemed list would offer to take a read and comment. If someone sees this post, kindly contact ANITA F> VENEZIA author Crosswinds at Campo Carcasso.

    • Simon Royle | August 12, 2011 at 7:36 am | Reply

      Hi Anita, thanks for the compliment. Your book sounds very interesting, however, waiting for reviewers to contact you for a review is setting yourself up for a very long wait. Most, if not all, of the reviewers on this list have a TBR queue that is longer than the River Nile and none, to my knowledge, have ever written an author asking to review their book.

      If you want reviews I suggest you start emailing, personally, each of the reviewers who are likely to accept. Read their submissions guidelines carefully and then write about 30 emails. Address each personally and mention the reviewers site personally – an impersonal mail merge is NOT going to stand out enough for a reviewer to accept.

      Good luck!

    There’s something fishy about Daily eBook Reviews. They solicit your email address and your joining their newsletter. Then they ask you to confirm by clicking a link to an incoming email that invites you to join a contest to win 1 million euros. Sounds spammy to me and I backed out.

      That sounds ugly. I’ll check it out – thanks for the heads up. [EDIT] Update after checking it out.
      James, I checked out the link as it is in the database and I subscribed to the newsletter. I got a totally legitimate email and link back. No lotteries or scams. Site looks 100% genuine indie to me. Probably you have a redirect virus or worm happening within your own system. Check it out. Good luck.

    Thanks so much for this list.

    I’ve invested so much time into publishing my books with a professional level of editing, art design (getting a redo for first two covers, this time w/ a pro), etc., that I haven’t done much legwork in marketing. I am grateful for a list of vetted reviewers. A gift!

    Looking into the future, reviewing “good” ebooks is one of my plans for an upcoming blog. I wrote Sunday book reviews for the Des Moines Register in a previous incarnation and had a book review column in a regional mag. I love reviewing (sometimes more than writing my own books) and realize just how important it is to have sites where readers can trust reviewers to steer them away from poorly written books. Cheers!

28. Sabrina Sumsion | January 4, 2012 at 1:08 pm | Reply

    I also do author interviews and book reviews. Please add me to your list as well!

    I review science fiction, fantasy, chic lit, anything with an amusing plot line. I do not review anything with excessive violence, sex etc. All my reviews have a section for cautious readers and I don’t like posting anything that would make my mom too uncomfortable.

    Here’s the link to my guidelines: http://www.sabrinasumsion.com/index.php/writing-industry/15-book-reviews/26-book-review-guidelines

    FYI:

    While the 4 sites you list up front under “Prolific Indie Reviewers” are indeed prolific (and kudos for that!), indie authors might also be interested to note:

    1. BigAl’s Books and Pals: Has not been “accepting unsolicited review submissions” since May 17, 2011.

    2. Candy’s Raves: Has a backlog of over 90 books to review as of September 25, 2011.

    3. TC Booked Up: States at the end of his review guidelines, in bold, “Please note I am not presently accepting new requests.”

    4. Wading Through Electronic Ink: Reviews only “YA fantasy/paranormal novels”.

    In other words, these sites may be of limited use to general eBook authors at present.

    However, I look forward to perusing the rest of your list…

    …and thank you for compiling it and providing such a valuable resource.

    • admin | April 18, 2012 at 6:10 am | Reply

      Hi Foxtrot,

      Yes your observation is true, however the list is also for readers and at the moment the reviewers listed are the only one’s who fulfill the criteria for “Prolific”. There’re another 131, reviewers on the list. One of the challenges with the list is the speed with which reviewers come and go, and the speed with which their TBR queues fill up.

      Cheers,

It’s just been published by a small, indie publisher, Swyers Publishing, and is now available on Amazon.com, B&N.com, Smashwords.com, and from the publisher. ps you can read more about the book on one of those sites or on my face book page: Sandra Gardner (sandywritesbooks@gmail.com)

      “Is there a way I can get my new cozy mystery, MOTHER, MURDER AND ME, reviewed by one of your reviewers?”

      We do not have any influence over what reviewers read and review. All we do is list where they are. The best way to get your book reviewed is to find those on the indie reviewers list who might want to review your book by writing to them and asking them.

39. Jonathan | May 17, 2012 at 8:31 am | Reply

    This list is incredibly useful. Thank you so much for compiling it and sharing it with us indie authors.

    That being said, I approached http://www.bzhercules.com/book_review_suggestions.html
    for a review and they replied that they now charge $7.99 — although they offered to do mine for free because I approached them “before the change” (I approached them today and the email felt automated) — and then they evidently list your book on their website for sale with you “keeping all the profits”.

    Although I could easily be wrong, this doesn’t quite feel “right” to me. Needless to say, I politely declined their invitation.

    In any case, I thought you should know.

    And thank you again so very much for the obvious time, effort, and attention you put to this. Greatly appreciated.

      Beth,

      That’s what this list is for. The definition of reputable may be open for interpretation, but all of those on this list appear to be. (If anyone finds that not to be the case, let us know.) Each reviewer has different submission policies, but you can search the list for those that seem to be a good fit for genre (or accept all) and follow their guidelines or policy which is linked in the list.

44. Karen A. Wyle | June 18, 2012 at 8:49 pm | Reply

    First, thank you for the great and very helpful list!
    One nitpick: the list would be even more helpful if the view didn’t default back to the first page and the 10-at-a-time view, every time one uses the browser’s (at least, Chrome’s) Back arrow. (A few of the links opened in a new window, which made things much easier — but most didn’t.)

    • admin | June 18, 2012 at 9:17 pm | Reply

      Thanks for the suggestion, Karen. I’ll look into this. At a minimum, if some links are opening to another tab I should be able to get them all to do that.

      Stacy,

      This site doesn’t do reviews, although we do have our IndieView feature (the majority of the posts you’ll see on the home page) that are a combination of interview and book promotion. If you’re interested in that, email admin@theindieview.com and say you’d be interested in doing an “IndieView.” However, the page you commented on has links to a couple hundred review sites that either specialize in or open to reviewing books the are independently published. The list is provided to help author’s find review sites that might be willing to review their books.

    Another excellent review site for your lists. Thanks for taking the time to compile all these sites together in one place. It’s such a big help for those indie reviewers.

    My review guidlines for indie/self-published authors has changed. The genres accepted are now as follows: non-fiction, crime, mystery, thrillers (including medical thrillers), action/adventure, dystopian, zombie, suspense, espionage/military and sci-fi with a strong science/technology/medicine focus

    This is a wonderful thing you’re doing here, and an exceptionally useful list.

    Below are some observations that may help you maintain it:

    - Anagha Uppal and Ana Uppal are one and the same person, but she appears twice
    - Jane Kalmes (Indiebook Podcast) may not be active any more: last post is dated March 2012
    - L.E. Olteano – neither of the two links in the entry resolve in a website
    - Malachi comes up as a ‘private blog’ and requires a log-in
    - Pavarti K Tyler – the review policy link resolves in ‘page not found’ whereas the main link works but nothing on her website suggests that she’s still reviewing books
    - Rebecca Abey – review policy link resolves in dud page
    - Red Adept – review policy link resolves in 404 not found; main link announces the end of the blog in March 2012
    - Lisa (indiebookblog.net) – resolves in a generic ‘contact support’ page

    Hope this is of some help and wish you all the best.

    Many thanks
    Sebastian

    1. Thank you SO MUCH for this resource. It’s wonderful and your work is greatly appreciate.

    2. FYI: The website for Abbey of Bittersweet Books states that as of 6/20/2012: they are “NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING BOOKS for review.”

      Thanks Elias. Regarding #2, we don’t try to keep up with who is currently accepting or not accepting books, because, depending on the way that particular blogger handles such thing, it could change very often.

    Thanks for the info, but I fear that much of it is already out of date. I contacted a lot of the listed indie reviewers with my new novel “The Legend of White Eagle”, and have not received a single review, despite providing free copies. I expect that most if not all are swamped with requests, but many seem to have quit reviewing altogether for some time!

    • admin | June 29, 2012 at 4:00 pm | Reply

      Raymond,

      I can guarantee most, if not all, are swamped. No reviewer will be able to review every book submitted or will be interested in reviewing every book where they receive an inquiry, depending on their submission policy. However, if there are some on this list that are no longer active, I’m interested in knowing which ones so they can be removed from the list.

    I have just signed up to the indie list and I am accepting all genres of books to review. Please send an email to shaniquaharris32@gmail.com with when you need the review by and if you would like a copy of the review. If for what ever reason I stop reviewing books I doubt this would happen but if it does I will contact all of the authors on my email list to let you know. Thank you for reading this and look forward to working with you in the near future.

    • admin | September 22, 2012 at 4:33 pm | Reply

      John, I’m guessing you’re seeing the first 100 by setting the number displayed at a time to 100. To go to the next 100 (or back to the previous 100) use the little buttons with arrows just below the bottom right corner of the table displayed.

63. Red Haircrow | September 25, 2012 at 1:19 am | Reply

    Could you please update my listing regarding the genres I accepted at my site, as we’ve never accepted all genres. Like the submission guidelines box, could you have genres listed as “Please visit website” or your standard message?

    If this is possible, thank you, I’d greatly appreciate it because I receive a high number of requests referred from your site who see “all” here and never read my guidelines apparently so I have to reject the majority of them as they fall outside our acceptances.

    I have asked twice without a response as to whether or not it is possible to access the names of the reviewers in addition to the 100 available on this Website. I understand there to be 85+ additional ones. I have been through the list of 100 and have found it very useful.

    Thank you.

    • admin | October 26, 2012 at 10:43 pm | Reply

      John, the page you were on contains a list of reviewers who meet specific qualifications (or at least did when added to the list).

      1) They’re willing to review books by “indie” authors.
      2) They’re actively reviewing books on their website or blog.
      3) They don’t charge for reviews.
      4) They have a page that outlines their guidelines for submitting a book for review.
      5) They’re willing to accept books in an electronic format for review (don’t require a paper book).

      We don’t do reviews on this site (more about that later), but are a starting site for you to find reviewers from the list who *might*. It is up to you to look at the list, find those who based on the information we give appear to be a good fit for your book (most listings have genre preferences), and look at their submission page for additional information and details and, if all looks well, follow their submission policy.

      One thing I should note is that book blogs are constantly closing and then reopening for submission. Different blogs have different policies. We don’t remove a review site from our list that is closed to submission and add them back when they reopen because, depending on the blog, this could be happening often.

      Although we don’t do reviews on this site, we do interviews with authors and reviewers which serve to promote one of the author’s books or the review site. If you (or any author or reviewer reading this) is interested in doing an interview email me at admin@theindieview.com expressing your interest.

    Hi,

    I am a writer and independent publisher. I encouraged writers of all ages to publish works written for children and am looking for reviewers to review some books.
    I notice that some reviewers mention that they review all genres, some mention young adult, and yet others mention the various genres that they prefer. I wonder if there are any on this list that review children’s categories too. If so, I would like to submit these books for review.

    By the way, I must say that this is a great list to have online. It makes life so easy for indies like us.

    Hi,

    A fantastic list but I am overwhelmed by the numbers. And still they grow! I write little ‘eBooks’ of vignettes/short stories/parfables/fictional essays and publish on Amazon, Kobo etc under the name of B F Moloney. I really enjoy what I do but I’ve got an uncomfortable feeling they defy genres and as a result are unreviewable. On saying that, would any reviewer out there like to have a crack at it? It might be challenging. Thanks for the great site.

As long as they are still reviewing, which seems to be the case here, then I’ll leave them on the list.

      Douglas, you’re looking for a page that doesn’t exist. We list indie friendly reviewers, but it is up to you to research the list to find those that appear to be a good fit and submit/query each depending on the particular system and rules each site has as explained on their submission page.

    Hi,
    OneTitle Reviews and Bronsen Earl
    have confirmed they will review, but after two months, no response at all.
    I appreciate their time is best spent reviewing, not e-mailing, but some progress report would be helpfull. Afterall, if they decide not to review, how will I know?

    Just wondering if any of your reviewers include Christian fiction…

    • admin | March 27, 2013 at 10:33 am | Reply

      AGB, the short answer is yes. Do a search by entering “Christian” in the search box just above the table of reviewers. It will narrow what is shown down to those that have that term in their listing. You’ll see several that specifically mention they don’t (stay away from them, obviously) and several that specifically mention they do (if everything else seems a good fit, check out their submission page).

    I am no longer accepting book reviews and will eventually be deleting my blog after I have fulfilled all my review requests. Can you please delete my blog, A Bit of Dash, from the list? Thank you.

      Sorry to hear that, Natasha. I’ve removed you from the list.

     Hey, I have a brand new indie and self published book review/recommendation blog, and I’m just trying to get my name out there. I will absolutely add a link to your website and would love it if you could add my blog to the list.

       Krista, could you fill out the form linked at the top of the page (or click this http://www.theindieview.com/add-me-to-the-indie-reviewers-list/ to get there)>?

         Oh yeah, following the simple directions, that would have been good. I got distracted by the shiny comments. I’ve filled out the form. Thanks!

     First Off – your site is brilliant, so thank you.

     Secondly – http://ladylibrary.wordpress.com is no longer available, just wanted to let you know.

       Thanks Thomas. And thanks for letting us know. I’ve removed that site from the list.

       • J Thomas Beaton | May 5, 2013 at 9:53 am | Reply

         Thanks. Also http://rickblackmon.com/ – The Elderly Geek – does not seem to do reviews at all. At least I cant see any and no way to submit books either. Looks like just his own books are on there.

           Thanks again, Thomas. I’ve also removed his listing.

     Thanks for the great list, Simon! (I found your site through Goodreads).

     I have sent in the form for our site and wanted to let you know that I have already posted the link to your site on the book reviews listing page. It is good to share the love!

     We are fairly prolific (we seem to have been meeting our goal of a minimum once per week since there are three of us who review), so it would be great if we could go on the prolific list. But since we don’t have a long track record yet and may run out of steam, perhaps not

       Thanks Jill. I’m a bit behind updating the reviewer list, but plan on getting the more recent submissions added in the next day or two. It’s up to you. If you’d like to be added to the prolific list now, I could do it, or if you’d prefer I’ll wait until you’re more confident in being able to keep up the pace.

       Al

     Go ahead and assume that we will be prolific. I promise to get back to you if we start to falter! We were spending a lot of time working out the kinks in the site for the past couple of months, so we didn’t have enough time to write. I think we will actually be able to keep up now that the site is fully settled.

     Thank you so much!
     Jill

     *** NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT! ***

     http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO81XAW

     Defective, a novella by Joan Hall Hovey is now available at Amazon, Smashwords and Omnilit. Coming Soon to Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Apple.

     Hi all,
     My publisher is Books We Love and they are an independent Canadian publisher, so I guess that makes me indie too. My latest (6th) suspense novel ‘DEFECTIVE” has just been released and I’d love to have some reviews since it has none at the moment. Thanks so much.
     Joan

     I am actively posting reviews to Amazon, Goodreads and other sites, but don’t do ebooks. Why are ebooks required?

     • admin | May 20, 2013 at 1:24 pm | Reply

       P.J.,
       This list is designed to help link appropriate book review websites with indie authors (which I’ll define as self-published and small press). A large portion (possibly a majority, but definitely a non-trivial number of them) don’t even have a paper version of their book available and when they do their promotion budget wouldn’t allow sending paper out to reviewers anyway. A reviewer who is unable to accept an ebook is not appropriate for the list. Even the largest publishers are using electronic versions as one method of distributing review copies (possibly their preferred method although I’m sure they still send paper as well). Google a site called Netgalley and you’ll see what I mean. While I’m sure paper books will be around for a long time to come, the wave of the future is electronic.
